On Thursday, Egypt's Football Association announced the appointment of Hossam El-Badry as the new head coach, replacing the sacked Mexican Javier Aguirre.
El-Badry, a 59-year-old former Egypt defender, has a rich coaching experience, having led Cairo-based Al Ahly on three separate occasions, starting in 2009 and most recently from 2016-18.
He will be the first Egyptian to coach the national team since Shawky Gharib in 2014, following Argentine Hector Cuper's tenure.
El-Badry's appointment comes after Aguirre's dismissal in July, following Egypt's shock home elimination in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations.
